Message from the
Program Chair
The theme for this year’s Conference,
“Simulation and Training: Transforming
21st Century Operations”, is reflected
in the many tutorials, technical papers,
presentations, special events and exhibits
throughout the conference. Our world has
undergone tremendous transformation during the last few years and our collective
contributions to training, simulation and
education have proven pivotal to our many

2004 Program Chair
successes.
Our world continues to face many political, economic, social
and technological challenges and it is our hope that I/ITSEC
2004 can provide a venue for effective and positive transformation. We honor warfighters from the United States and all of our
Coalition Partners and everyone who supports the warfighter,
from all countries, who join us in our fight for peace and freedom.
As we strive to bring you high quality paper presentations,
special events and tutorials, we are pleased to present 156
technical papers, 15 special events and 20 tutorials. After the
conference, please take full advantage of your ability to review the
Opening Ceremonies, Flag Officer Panel and Best Paper presentations via our web page at www.iitsec.org.
I wish to thank the very dedicated and talented volunteers who

Education Subcommittee
Mark A. Gerash, Chair
We had 68 total Abstracts
that went for Papers prior to
the paper evaluation meeting in Salt Lake City. During
our meeting we had 59 submissions; the
best percentage of submissions amongst
all the Subcommittees. I believe this was
directly related to the perseverance with
which the birddogs pursued each author.
Ultimately, we accepted 41 papers for presentation, 6 papers for publish only and had
12 rejections. The quality of the papers was
as good if not better than in past years. The
Education Subcommittee is passionate about
presentations and publishing. I was moved
and honored to represent such a committed group of individuals. We believe the 41
presentations will be the collective best 41
presentations ever given at I/ITSEC.
Policy, Management
and Acquisition (PMA)
Subcommittee
DeLloyd Voorhees, Jr., Chair
The Policy, Management and
Acquisition Subcommittee
focuses on policy directives
regarding the methodologies,
processes and/or procedures implemented
while acquiring training systems or executing current training programs. We examine
management issues directly related to the
administration of programs and acquisitions, including challenges, successes, risks,
finances and the impact of these on the
training system and/or the trainees. Finally,
we address acquisition topics related to the
acquisition of training systems; services,
facilities and courseware; and the success
with which these training efforts meet their
designed goals.
The PMA Team is composed of 29
experienced Government and Industry partners including myself and my Deputy—Sam
Worrell. Two of our members are former Program/Conference Chairs—Stan
Aronberg and Ed Ward. These two individuals provide guidance and support to me and
the entire PMA Team in getting us through
the Abstract, Paper and Presentation
Review processes leading up to the
Conference. Eleven of our members repre2 SEPTEMBER 2004
sent the Services (USA, USMC, USN, USAF
& USCG); eighteen of our members are
from Industry. The Subcommittee represents
a seasoned cross section of expertise. This
year we welcomed 11 new or transferred
members, thus keeping our “corporate
knowledge” fresh. The Subcommittee members independently reviewed 54 abstracts
during the March review in San Antonio. Of
these, 33 were accepted and recommended
to be developed into papers.
The subcommittee members continue to
work with the prospective authors to “bird
dog” the authors into developing a paper
that meets the theme of the Conference,
the fulfillment of the abstract accepted, and
the guidelines of the Conference. These Bird
Dogs, most of whom have prepared and presented papers at earlier I/ITSECs, are key in
getting papers approved and subsequently,
the development of presentations for the
December Conference. Congratulations to
the authors whose abstracts were selected!
We look forward to reading your high quality
papers.
Research and Development
Subcommittee
Dr. Jim Wall, Chair
The Research and
Development Subcommittee
is on track for supporting
the 2004 Interservice/
Industry Training, Simulation, and Education
Conference with an outstanding collection of
papers reporting on a wide variety of timely
research and development activities. These
papers strongly support this year’s theme,
“Simulation and Training: Transforming 21st
Century Operations.” At the Paper Review
(July 27-28 in Salt Lake City), twenty-six
papers were reviewed with fifteen being
accepted for presentation and four being
accepted for publishing only.
Last year, the R&D Subcommittee established a more defined commitment to serve
as an international forum focused on promoting and advancing revolutionary concepts
and innovative applications in both basic and
applied research activities related to modeling, simulation and training. That commitment remains. Our objectives are as follows:
to facilitate the exchange of information on
pioneering advancements, to encourage
inquiry into new and emerging fields, and
to present documented results for measuring advancements in the state-of-the-art.
Participation in the I/ITSEC Conference from
organizations and communities engaged in
research and development activities other
than the armed services (e.g., NASA, academia) is strongly encouraged also.
As usual, the R&D Subcommittee membership represents a diverse group of men
and women with exceptional credentials.
They are charged with the process of soliciting, reviewing, and accepting, high quality
papers for publication. The distribution of the
group is as follows: fifteen members from
industry, twelve from the government, and
one from academia. Because the abstracts
and papers in R&D come from multiple
disciplines, it is most important that the
Subcommittee members be carefully selected to ensure that each entry gets reviewed
by qualified individuals. This is the eighth
year that I have served in some capacity
on one of the I/ITSEC Subcommittees and
I continue to be amazed at the depth of
knowledge represented. In most cases, one
or more members of the Subcommittee will
have either detailed programmatic knowledge about that which is being reported in
addition to the requisite technical knowledge
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve
as the 2004 I/ITSEC R&D Subcommittee
Chair. The support from all involved to
ensure that this year’s conference will be the
best ever has been tremendous.
Human Systems Integration
Bruce McDonald, Chair
Repeated hurricanes have prevented the
Human Systems Integration Subcommittee
from providing a full report on the results
of their Paper Review in Salt Lake City.
Something about having to evacuate offices
for several days…
Here, however, is an abbreviated report.
From a total of 33 abstracts originally
accepted, 26 papers were submitted. Of
these, 18 were accepted for presentation
and five for publication only. Subcommittee
Chair Bruce McDonald notes that the
high percentage of papers produced from
abstracts accepted is testimony to the
good, persistent work of the “Bird Dogs”.
He also indicates that his Subcommittee
was well prepared for the Review process
and that discussions were congenial and
productive.

Partnership III. From the ground up, the facility was designed to DoD anti-terrorism standards for security and force protection. More than half a million feet of data wiring and
176,000 feet of electrical MC cable and wiring represent the state of the art for building communications and security.
Strategically located conference and collaboration spaces were designed to foster
cooperation among the building’s various users. UCF occupies floors one and two and
shares the third level with DoD components. Army and Marine Corps units are in limited-access spaces on the fourth and fifth floors. A large conference room on the second floor can be used for a variety of activities. A two-story production studio will aid
advanced digital media development and distribution.

Q International Author
SEPTEMBER 2004 7
To plot a course for DoD after the cancellation of the Joint Simulation System (JSIMS)
program, we initiated a major Analysis
of Alternatives. That effort, called the
Training Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives
(TCAoA), is complete and will have far
reaching implications for applying the benefits of modeling and simulation, as well as
other training technologies, to training. One
Dr. Paul W. Mayberry
of the most interesting parts of the analysis was a series of games — really collaborative planning sessions
based on a scenario — including one game with representatives
from the training industry. We had terrific participation in this
game and what we heard from industry was eye opening. As a
result, one of the follow-on actions from the AoA will be a prototype training acquisition initiative that we intend to sponsor at US
Special Operations Command.
Other follow-on actions will be the establishment of a
Joint Training Functional Capabilities Board under the Joint
Requirements Oversight Council and a Joint Requirements Office
in US Joint Forces Command. The requirements process was one
of the major elements contributing to our inability to field JSIMS.
Another fundamental change in our approach will be the way we
work with the intelligence community. In JSIMS, their participation was really as a training aid to our warfighters. The better
approach is that they and the warfighters train together, and
future simulations will be built to support this approach.
One other major follow-on effort is that we need to rethink our
whole approach to high-level staff training with large simulations.
A blend of better individual training with light simulations, or even
gaming technology, may provide better, cheaper, faster learning
experiences. Reengineering joint training will be a follow-on study
effort.
The full implication of the TCAoA will continue to unfold as it
gets more high-level review and as teams continue to work over
the pieces. Already I am convinced that it has provided the fundamental course correction that was needed. I hope to have an
opportunity to provide a further update on our TCAoA efforts in
your next newsletter — perhaps in time for the 2004 I/ITSEC.
